1 Assessing climatic effects on the reproductive performance of sows in a temperate climate Christian Lambertz, Kerstin Wegner and Matthias Gauly Department of Animal Sciences Georg-August-University Göttingen, Germany 64th EAAP Nantes
2 Negative effects of high temperatures on sows Weaning-to-service interval Almond & Bilkei, 2005 Prunier et al., 1997 Conception rate Almond & Bilkei, 2005 Suriyasomboon et al., 2006 Litter size Almond & Bilkei, 2005 Edwards et al., 1968 Live born piglets Omtvedt et al., 1971 Stillborn piglets Omtvedt et al.,
3 Heat stress effects during gestation Day of gestation Effect Disordered implantation of embryos, Reduced conception rates, Reduced no. of vital embryos No effects of heat stress Less live born, more stillborn piglets Omtvedt et al. (1971) 3
4 When does heat stress begin? Above 22 C (Black et al., 1993) But: temperature explains climatic effects insufficiently Development of temperature-humidity index (THI) as heat stress indicator No exact thresholds for sows described 4
5 Objectives What effects does the THI have on the reproductive performance in sows? 5
6 Materials and Methods 6 indoor sow farms in Northern Germany Juli 2011 August
7 Measurements Temperature and relative humidity recorded 2 data loggers Farrowing, Waiting, Servicing compartment 7
8 Temperature-humidity index NWSCR (1976): THI = [(1.8 T ) + 32] [0.55 (RH/100] * [((1.8 T) + 32) 58] where T is the temperature ( C) and RH the relative humidity (%) 8
9 Reproductive performance litters Herd monitoring program db-planer (BHZP, Ellringen) Mating date and no. Parity no. Farrowing and weaning date No. of live born and stillborn piglets No. of weaned piglets Preweaning mortality Weaning-to-service interval 9
10 Statistics Y ijklm = μ + P i + S j + PS k + F l + THI + e ijklm Y ijklm = reproductive parameter μ = overall mean P i = fixed effect of parity i (5 classes) S j = fixed effect of season j (4 classes) PS k = fixed effect of the interaction between parity and season F l = fixed effect of the farm (1 to 6) THI = covariate e ijklm = random residual term 10

28 Summary THI had effects on the reproductive performance in sows Sows: Piglets: Less live born piglets Less stillborn piglets Increased no. of weaned piglets Lower preweaning mortality 28
29 Conclusions Piglets performance increased with higher THI-values Higher THI-values negatively affected reproductive performance of the sows at the time of farrowing 29

33 Background Heat stress in sows: combination of temp and RH! Temperature-humidity index Thresholds for heat stress in sows? Causes seasonal infertility and decreases reproductive efficiency Feed intake reduced by up to 50% (Collin et al., 2001) Effects of heat stress greatest during lactation (Williams et al., 2013) Different thermal-neutral zones of sows and piglets 33
